After Ryan Lowe left newly promoted crisis club Bury for relegated Plymouth Argyle recently, we’ve taken a look at who are favourites for the job at Gigg Lane.
Bury could potentially cease to exist for next season due to huge financial concerns. Shakers have avoided numerous winding up petitions from the High Court over unpaid bills and total dept up to £8m, the case has now been adjourned until the 19th of June with talks three parties are interested in buying the club.
The supporters turned up outside Steve Dale’s home expressing their anger, calls for him to walk away and wanted to know what was going on as the crisis situation continues.
Any manager coming into the club will certainly have his work cut out, with Ryan Lowe most likely snatching his former side’s players.
Take a look at who are the top six favourites below and on the next page.
6) STUART MCCALL
Stuart McCall’s last job with was Scunthorpe United. He was appointed in August 2018, won four out of five games in January to take them out of relegation and up to 14th. The good form didn’t last though as they dropped back to 18th and was sacked in March 2019.
Before that, he was with Bradford, though was sacked when they were still sitting in 6th in League One when as they had fallen 13 points behind the automatic promotion places.
Between 2007 and 2018, McCall has also managed Bradford City (two spells), Motherwell and Rangers.
